We didn't hold anything back. We flat-out asked Ryan if that flashy set was really his or if it was Photoshopped.

"Actually, James Cameron has developed a program called Abatar," the star jokingly explains. "You just wear this motion-capture suit that has six balls on it, and in the scene you suddenly have muscles." Fingers crossed men everywhere can someday harness these benefits.

But while Ryan may have played a suave, muscled lady-killer, he doesn't really identify with that character, and actually went to great lengths to get inside that one-track mind. "I'm more like Steve's character in the movie than I am like my guy," he bashfully recounts. "I read all these gentleman's magazines [and] tried to follow all the lists...all the things you're supposed to wear." As if the abs weren't enough, now he adds a side of humble to the equation. This guy's good.
